Qualitative characteristics of the fungus Cyclocybe aegerita strains 2229, 2230, 2231 IBK under industrial cultivation conditions

Poplar mushroom is characterised by attractive fruiting bodies in terms of appearance and taste. Cyclocybe aegerita mushrooms are also known to contain unique substances, including proteins, polysaccharides, aromatic substances with proven nutritional value medicinal effects. However, the lack a sound cultivation technology using available plant material limits saturation domestic market this species. Three strains C. from IBK National Collection Agaricale Cultures Institute Ecology Natural Resources were studied for their potential introduction into commercial culture. It was determined that 2230 2231 have vegetation cycle 42 days compared 46-64 previously strains. The highest yield experiment obtained strain 2231, which ranged 217 220 g per kilogram substrate over three cycles. biological efficiency according results first wave 20.2 (2229) 60.4% (2231), consistent published data other researchers. parameters strains, differed both colour pileus size, described detail.
